WHAT DOES a man do when he gets home smelling of perfume? It was fun riding around in a 1908 Glide automobile delivering the . Angelique perfume and cologne that L. 8. Ayres is promoting this week. And Drivey Harvey Matthews and Marylou Hurley, Ayres fashion bureau beauty, and I laughed when a bricklayer in a hole in Meridjan St., was sprayed with perfume. “What am I going to tell my wife?” yelled the worker. Harvey, Marylou and I roared. n = ” WE HAD just delivered one of the first orders of perfume to Harry Bitner Jr. at WFBM. The old French custom was getting a good start. Everyone on the streets and sidewalks looked at the ancient automobile. They should have been looking at Marylou. Anyway, the promotion stunt by the makers of Angelique perfumes was receiving a lot of attention. That's what Harvey was interested in. Our city streets were getting attention too. The car is rigged ith a spray unit that shoots out perfume. We really left a sweet trail. e © THEN HARVEY had to stop for a stoplight. The car was next to a hole where this work? man was laying bricks. The unit was spraying perfume. Suddenly the man stiffened and straightened. That's when He got the full blast. That's when he yelled the question. You can imagine how unlikely it is to get doused with perfume in a ditch. t's when the fun ceased for me, During ‘all the running around and spraying and laughing, my clothes absorbed a good deal of Angelique. You'hear men telling about going home reeking of perfume. It’s funny when you hear it. Chlorophyll isn’t the solution. There must be something else. I'll find out, probably, when I get home. Wonder. what the bricklayer is going to say? ’ Flowers? Candy? Bottle of Angelique that is open? Truth? Funny how the truth never rings true where a wife is concerned. Oh, well,

NEW YORK, Sept. 24 —1I spent the entire week end trying to.get upset over Dick Nixon's sidebar slush fund, which seems to be 18 grand worth of aid and assistance from constituents to

eep the boy in stamps and stationery. . Sou oy think he engineered the great train robbery, from all the outcry, , and all he did is what all the boys do. It is a well-known fact that a Congressman cannot live on his salary and expenses. Some steal; others conduct private practices outside 2 the House and Senate; others do = money; some just accept the A odd buck from well-wishing | neighbors. i Before you rear back and Uli holler you must realize that Ww there is no intrinsic difference between the acceptand of campaign funds and the acceptance of dribs and drabs of dough from friends to keep the ship of state in station. Right now, private Individuals and corporations have given millions to the cause of Adlai Stevenson and also Ike Eisenhower.

THEY ARE, in a word, trying to bet on the eventuality ,of one or the other in the big seat. They are trying to buy favor, if you want to be brutal. This one wants an ambassadorship. The other wants something in the cabinet. The other wants a break on his business, The tiny contributor, the jot-and-tittle kid, wants to get his cousin in the civil service or sew up the local post office for himself. If this is bribery, if this is serving outside interests, then no President ever went into office without paying off big to the people who subsidized him in his fight. . Mr. Truman, undoubtedly sneering happily at the well-delivered smear on Dick Nixon, owed more favors to more people than anybody you met lately. The payoff of those favors resulted in ‘the dirtiest political regime ever registered for the records. Even Harry's trusted friends turned out to be brazen influence peddlers and shellgame operators. His doctor speculated in grain. Harry Vaughan specialized in serving the fivepercenters. Harry's income-tax appointees are severally in jail. ® © HARRY HIMSELF has tucked away a nonaccountable fifty thou per annum, since his election. In a way we are contributing to Harry's extra security, his heavy expenses. Last Satur-

day night I saw his daughter on television with Jimmy Durante, and I presume for dough. As a . singer, actress, or comedienne ‘she couldn't buy her way into this joint unless she’ was trading on the White House. What is all this nonsense about Dick Nixon's sideways take? .

Women's clothes purchased in Russia by Mrs. Alan G, Kirk, wife of the former ambassador, are displayed side by side with American clothes. What a sight to behold. One woman asked her companion as she looked at a lingerie display with the Soviet label, “How would you like to wear that?” The other woman shuddered. The display is worth seeing, fellow Americans. “o.A ONE OF THE problems of location confronting the Sonja Henie 1953 Ice Revue has been solved at the Butler Fieldhouse.

gram, and rushed his purely governmental memsoirs into magazine and book print (for dough) before the egg was dry on Frank Costello’s face. In light of precedent it would seem that if a few well-meaning Californians wanted to chip in the $500 here and the $200 yonder to keep Sen. Nixon solvent, while he’ went about the expensive business of representing his state and busting Communists on the side, he is less guilty of heinous crime than of practicality. ch HS IT IS POSSIBLE today for a hard-working Congressman to teal big if he wants to sell his knowledge and influence. I doubt very much if the 18 grand they accuse Sen. Nixon -of using ‘to further the activity of his office is a price sufficiently large to tempt the legislator off the straight, slim path of public service. Mr. Truman’s boys do it bigger and better. Some have been known to push off for South America with :arpetbags full of it. If the criticism of Sen. Nixon gets very bitter from the Democratic side, I would like to remind them momentarily of Uncle Will O'Dwyer, the ambassador to Mexico. Bill is on the record as saying he had to take money from friends to buy his wife's clothes, so’'s he could be an ambassador under a cloud, an emissary who finds it convenient not to come home. I shouldn't brood much over Sen. Nixon's 18 grand, if I were you. Bigger birds are flying by unnoticed, while they squash the gpats with utmost sound and frequent fury.

its superintendent, watch Walter Leckrone, editor of The Times, receive a message on the machine.

By GEORGE McEVOY THE OLD-TIME telegrapher—the man with the sun-

shade and the fluttering fingers—is on his way to TE Sn rT “le: THe Elin, Dediamaforta Civnrn,

honored oblivion. And pedaling right along behind him is

the bicycle messenger. Like the blacksmith, the chimney-sweep and the lamplighter, they have fallen prey ‘to the age of science. A new system recently installed in Indianapolis, makes everyone a telegrapher and every office a Western Union station. Home use is a distant possibility. i v The ‘“Desk-Fax,” as it is called, is about. the size of a portable typewriter. It operates on a photo-electric cell process. One simply writes his message on a blahk, places it on a cylinder, pushes the inevitable button and, within seconds, the message is ‘being received at the local Western Union office. n s - WHEN A MESSAGE is in-

coming; & signal ‘light blinks on the home set, another but-

ton is pushed and there is your message, delivered electronically. The whole procedure is simple. If it replaces the telephone in Dad’s affections, he'll send a roar of “Teena, get off that Desk-Fax so I can send a message to Washington” ringing through the house when big sister phones—or rather, graphs her boy friend. Arthur G. Dudley of Pittsboro, superintendent of Indianapolis Western Union, contrasts the new device to telegraphy when he broke in, back in 1909. . “It took a year to learn to be a single-key telegrapher,” he said, “and even then you wouldn't be a good one for five or six years. Now, you can learn to send and receive in 15 minutes.”

\ Sports Editor, Fhe Houston Press DOWN IN the cactus country along the Texas Gulf Coast nothing looks quite as fearsome in a face-to-face

who came from nowhere to win the 1951 Southwest Conference title, can’t surprise again. Rhetr penalty for jumping from\ a fourth-place rating to the con-

the 1952 league favorite and chief target. But first they’ll have to convince the University of Texas, Rice Institute, University of Arkansas and Southern Methodist. Plus, perhaps, the Baylor Bears, who are rebuilding after losing most of the stalwarts who took them t&a close sec-ond-place finish last fall.

In the far-flung Missouri Valley Conference, reaching from Houston on the Gulf of Mexico to Detroit in the Great Lakes region, the University of Tulsa’'s Golden Hurricane is expected to breeze to the title. Tulsa’s closest challengers should be the University of Houston with University of Detroit and University of Wichita close. The champion almost never repeats. Texas did it in a war year, 1943, and the SMU Mustangs of DoaknWalker skidded in with a) second consecutive crown in 1948, Here's how the Southwest Conference lines up: Last fall, TCU ‘caught fire” with the score 0-14 against them late in their second conference game, against the Tex-

THe lad at the throttle in the Toads’ amazing comeback to post a 20-14 victory that day \was an unheralded, fourthstring tailback in the bewildering Dutch Meyer spread formation—Ray McKown.

The return, of McKown is a major reason \why the Horned Frogs wear) the favorite's mantle this fall."

TEXAS has its usual muchadvertised quarterback problem, must replace its defensive secondary. In the spring the Steers came up with Bunny Andrews, a good passer who has logged only 12 varsity minutes, to go with veteran Tee Jones, a senior. 4 The Steers have 20 lettermen returning, including the league's top scorer, Halfback Gib Dawson, who scored nine touchdowns last fall on plays that averaged better than 35 yards. The Longhorns figure to bes stronger offensively, weaker defensively, than a year ago. :

The opposite of Texas’ situation may be true for Rice Coach Jess Neely’'s Owls, who were picked for the cellar last fall, instead tied Texas for third. The defense may be stronger than a year ago. The Owl offensé should be stronger. Twenty-one lettermen include Bill Howton, All-Amer-ica end, who led the nation i average gain per pass caug with 22.8 yards for each of his 33 catches, accounting for pearly 75 per cent of the Owls’ air gains, / 2 2 wn / THE ARKANSAS/Razorbacks lost only niné lettermen, but they were good ones, included the giants of their line. But Lamar McHan, the Hogs" brilliant Split-T quarterback, returns. So do two big defensive tackles who'll move to offense, Tom Garlington, 220 and Buster Graves, 235.

Graduation also stripped the Cadets’ offensive line, save for End Darrow Hooper, the Olympic shot putter. Seven of the 13 lads who played most of the Aggie defense return and with three, perhaps four exceptions, will remain on defense. Without too many top sophs on hand to replace those 19 departed lettermen, it's rebuilding time for the Aggies.

Detroit also picked up half backs Lee Riley and Stan Tubnis and guards Roger Stemmler and Joe Belluso from St. Bonaventure, as well as tackle Tim Moriarty and half back John Thiel from San Francisco. Wichita obtained three transfers from Loyola of Los Ane Bob Burton, due to start as a halfback.
